  1. The picture belies the frosty part but showcases the sunny and warmer part. We got about 4″ yesterday and may get a bit more later in the week. Currently a balmy 19°F. It’s starting to look and feel a bit like Winter around here. 🙂

    1. The foreground shows frozen lake water with some snow on top, but yes, I wanted to emphasise the juxtaposition of the sun. I read that eastern Canada and U.S. is getting walloped by some rather large winter storms. Stay warm. 🙂

    1. I looked up the average temperatures for January and we’re usually a bit warmer (we’re in a very deep valley between mountain ranges which will moderate weather a lot). Ours is a low of -4C (25F) and high of 1C (34F) while yours – I looked up Chicago – is a low of -6C (21F) and high of 0C (32F). If I was still in the subarctic north the difference would huge! Cheers.

        1. My apologies, Neil! I’m going to put that down to my ageing brain (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it). It’s clear I should have confirmed your location too. 🙂 In that case, you are definitely warmer. 😉

    1. Not in recorded history. The ice around the edges is very thin right now, too, and we’ve already had a couple of people fall through (they and their dog were safely rescued). Okanagan Lake is classified as a fjord lake, so at 232m (761 ft), it’s pretty deep. Wow – I didn’t realise that Lake Erie will freeze over.

    1. A huge low from over the Pacific arrived last night and is dropping mega-snow on Vancouver – 30 cm expected. The temperature is at zero too so you can imagine how sloppy and wet it is. We have snow here too but it’s much lighter because it was forced up over the coastal mountains. Driving in the lower mainland or in the mountains isn’t recommended today! Glad that you’re getting some sun. 🌞

    1. Yes, the lake was a great colour that day, but definitely no dipping! There were a lot of people doing that on NewYear’s Day though. Cold water dips are supposed to be really good for you but not my thing.
